What is a Canadian toll-free number?

OpenPhone US toll-free and vanity numbers

A Canadian toll-free number, also known as a North American toll-free number, is a phone number that allows people across North America to reach you without paying hefty long-distance fees. As the phone number owner, you foot the bill for incoming and outgoing calls, ensuring every caller can call you for free. Depending on the provider, you have a set amount of toll-free minutes per month you can use for calling before you pay extra. With OpenPhone, there is no set limit.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) manages North American toll-free numbers, with strict guidelines about how businesses should use these numbers. You don’t have to go through the FCC to get a toll-free number; VoIP services like OpenPhone take care of it for you.

The three-digit prefix most well-known with toll-free numbers is 800. Since the 1990s, additional area codes have been released, including 833, 844, and 888.

North American toll-free phone numbers aren’t limited to Canadian residents. They’re accessible to callers in all 20 countries in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), including the USA, Canada, the British Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean, which makes them attractive to businesses looking to expand to multiple regions.

How do toll-free numbers for Canada work?
down arrow

For the person making the call, a Canadian toll-free number offers the same experience as their regular phone number. You simply dial in to get connected with customer service or another department. The main difference between dialing a Canadian toll-free number and a regular number: long-distance calls are free, even when placed from a landline.

If your team is a startup, SMB, or large enterprise, how your Canadian toll-free number works depends on your phone service. If you decide to go with a VoIP phone system, double-check that your service provider allows you to receive toll-free calls for free. Some toll-free number service providers charge extra for this. With OpenPhone, you don’t pay extra.
